ferguson911 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Last night I went through ALL of my clothes! The only thing that is yet too small ( it buttons up but... muffin top) are my high school graduation pants (2008). I also tried on my firefighter uniform......the picture is from septembre 11th 2011, and the other one is last night, the pants were HUGE, the dress shirt also. Hard to believe it...Did some of you after your weight loss have trouble trying on smaller clothes... i seem to be stuck with the illusion of my older self, for example trying on an XL shirt yet saying IT WONT FIT because I remember for so long it did'nt? ALSO !!! during boxing tonight I did my first 10 consecutive NORMAL pushups, not ''girl'' sorrry for the term, pushups (knees) but real life ones ! The coach could'nt believe it that I finally did them !Here is a woot pic ! EDIT: I got a message from my coach this morning, he wants to me get a medical done, and a form filled out by a doctor so I can sign up for the boxing federation and eventually get a few fights under my belt on an amateur level !!!!

ferguson911 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I DID IT !!!! Today I drove 2and a half hours to mount Jacques Cartier, and after a few hours of hiking finally made it to the TOP!! 25 degrees at the base, -5 degrees celcius at the top, extremely hard to hike in the rocks and the tundra, exposed to the high winds, still I pushed it to the limit and did the unthinkable !!! We even saw some wild caribou running at nearly 20 feet from us !!! Had to change my clothes o nthe way up due to the EXTREMELY varying temperatures.I really felt like I was in lord of the rings at some pointsHere are woot pictures again: Realising I am not even half way there WITH MY EPIC 50 year old mom who has an artificial knee !

Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us! I sure am, the best way to make it to the top is to start at the bottom and never say it's too high of a ways to go ! Good news, I got my bloodwork back, everything is great, except the doctor wants me eating more ''good cholesterol''. I'll have to add some of that to my diet. Had to take last night off because of muscle aches BUT tonight I'm back boxing, and drinking alot more water. Quote Adventurer STR: 3| DEX: 2 | CON: 3 | STA: 3| WIS:2| CHA:2 Link to comment
